To make the most of this Convention
please read this programme carefully.
Additional information is available at either
www.ucasevents.com or www.connexionslive.com

The Convention has two main parts:

(1) There is a ‘Marketplace’ where representatives from over 140 universities and
colleges of higher education and graduate employers will be situated.
They will be available for you to ask them questions. Please use the opportunity
to talk to representatives and not just take prospectuses. There are some
suggested questions which you might ask on the website,

The Merseyside UCAS Higher Education
Convention at the University of Liverpool
on 11/12 June 2014 is for anyone thinking of
making an application to university in 2015.

(2) The second part of the Convention is a series of presentations on a wide
range of subjects studied in higher education. The speakers have been asked to
make their talk relevant to their subject in all higher education institutions. The
presentations will last about forty minutes. Please note that attendance at
these talks is on a ‘first come, first served’ basis.

Your educational institution gives you the day off to
attend the Convention as they know it can help you
to research your choice of courses and universities.
Attending higher education costs money, so making
the right choice of course and institution is more
important than ever. Making the wrong choice can
be very costly. The Convention is to help you make
sure you make the right choice for you.

If you arrive at the Convention before 9.30 and wish to attend a talk
starting at 9.30 or 10.30 we recommend you go straight to that talk and
return to the Marketplace later in the day.

We hope you find the Convention both useful and enjoyable.

We also must ensure that you are safe. To do this we are:

Car parking for visitors at the university is not free and is very limited. Please use
public transport or the transport provided by your school/college to attend the
Convention.

• Making entry to the Marketplace part of the Convention (where all the
stands are) in the Marquees on Abercromby Square Gardens on production
of this programme.
• Asking you to follow the one-way system that will be operating in the
Marketplace and to follow the directions of the stewards.
• Restricting entry to the marquees if they become too crowded. If they do you may
be asked to wait outside for a few minutes until the crowd disperses.
Please be patient.
• Note that the Marketplace tends to be busiest at around 9.30am. It is
usually much quieter towards lunchtime. So, if you wish to talk to
delegates from universities at any length, you may get a better chance
later in the day. So if you want to go to a talk that starts at 9.30 or 10.30
we recommend you go straight to the talk(s) before entering the
Marketplace later in the day.
• Asking you to be choosy in the prospectuses you take. Remember prospectuses
can get heavy. Please do not just grab a prospectus; speak to the university’s
representative if you are interested in going there. If you do collect a prospectus
you then decide you don’t really want, please don’t litter.
• Asking you to pay careful attention to any announcements on the public
address (PA) system.
The Convention is a non-smoking event.

Please note that the Marketplace, where the university stands are
situated, in the Marquees on Abercromby Square Gardens is open from
9.30am until 2.00pm. You can come and go from the Marketplace as
many times as you want during this period. You do not have to enter
the Marketplace before going to any of the talks, and you can enter
the Marketplace before, after, or instead of going to any of the talks.
You will only be prevented from entering the Marketplace during
these hours if it is in danger of overcrowding.

The event is one of a national network of Higher Education Conventions held
throughout the U.K. each year co-ordinated by UCAS Education Conventions;
supported by the Higher Education Liaison Officers Association (HELOA).
The organisation and administration of the event is carried out by GMCP/Career
Connect.
We would like to thank UCAS and HELOA for their support and the Vice
Chancellor and staff of the University of Liverpool for their help and hospitality.
We would also like to thank the speakers, representatives, chair-people,
stewards and student helpers and for giving their time so willingly.
